my mom, Rylee and i took a girl trip to see my great-nephew this past week. Before we left, I popped off some quick shots. Glad I did. Cannot wait for my cousin’s baby boy to get here in May. Lots O’ Boys- and I love it.

My favorite of the day. Makes me happy.

We love you!

No really, he is. His name is Wyatt Doll. He is precious, happy, content, easy to please and very cute. We became fast friends. And his mom and dad, some of the most down to earth and laid back people I have ever met. I was very impressed with dad. He e-mailed me to book an appointment. I just love it when father’s take it upon themselves to do something like this for their family.

The one above and the one below are my favorites… she is so real here and also very pretty.

Thanks guys for allowing me to photograph your new family. It was an ABSOLUTE pleasure!

My great-nephew came into our world two weeks ago and I have to say that makes me extremely happy and also extremely freaked-out. I am a great-aunt!!!!!!!!! Which means I may be getting old. Anyway, he is cute, he is cool, he is awesome! I love you lil boy, can’t wait to get to know ya better.

Yep, I did the basket thing. Not my thing, but I did it anyway.

And I like it.

More to come………

They Grow Like Weeds…..

and if you have been following this little one, you will see it is true. She is unstoppable. Doing so much that is not typical for six months. No big surprise at all, this is the way she has been since birth. Curious, strong-willed, smart, friendly, sure of herself. And I feel that she knows who I am now, which is of great benefit to me. She looks right at the lens and listens to my voice. We have made a “connection,” something that is crucial to great photographs.

The most important part of this was great grandmother being there for a visit. Not planned. And at the end of the “real” pictures, I took some very precious shots. She is a beautiful woman and I can tell she was quite the looker in her younger days. I miss my grandmothers so being around her was a treat.

Here are the photos you just can’t put money on……

There are more of these at the top of this blog in the slides-show. I love them this much, had to put them there.

The best shots always come at the end, just the way it goes.

God-thank you for allowing me to do this. It brings me pure JOY.

Little Lily is growing very very very fast, that is what they do. Before you know it she will be sixteen. I am telling you the truth and some of you know exactly what I am talking about. My boy will be sixteen in just a few days, that is driving age. My girl starts kindergarten in August. I am in a funk because I am having a hard time taking it for what it is without feeling guilty about what I haven’t done right. I am so NOT a perfect mom. I can do better I know for sure.

THIS mom however, is one I believe is all that I wish I could be. She is so happy and excited to be this baby’s mommy and wants to do it again and again. I asked her and she told me so, with a big, HUGE smile on her face. This family, I am very proud to say I know and more importantly proud to be a part of for the most special thing of all, their photographs. Daddy “ain’t” so bad himself.

Here’s to this new family! I am blessed, truly blessed to be able to do what I do…..

This is what she was doing on this day, and ya know what, this was new for her. Reaching for her toes and cutting her first teeth. A big milestone.

Lily- “I think I got it…”

“I know I got it”

“Oh YES I got it!!!!”

Lily-”My mommy is beautiful, I hope I look like her one day.” Me- “Yes me too Lily.”

Lily- “My dad is pretty handsome too.” Me- “Yes Lily I agree, that is the reason you are so beautiful.”

Lily- “They make a darn good Mom and Dad don’t they?” Me- “Absolutely, you are one lucky girl.”

Double Trouble

Laura — Tue, 18 May 2010 21:58:45 +0000

Here they are, J and J, born almost two weeks ago. Healthy and ready to take on the world, and Mom and Dad. It took us two days to get these shots. Hard work for everyone involved, but it was absolutely worth it and one day all of us will look back, laugh, cry and be so glad we made it happen. I am lucky to have met this family, and one Grandmother, name to be decided by the babies, but I’m thinking “Babe” may carry on, it is so fitting.

First Day

Second Day

Babe

……..told ya she was a “Babe”.

Simple but oh so sweet…

I have favorites from this session, but this one speaks. I didn’t know that I had this when I pressed the shutter. Totally natural, absolutely real! The best kind of photograph in my book.

More Of The Twins And Their Cute Lil Brother

Laura — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 20:57:17 +0000

It’s very hard to know who is who and which is which. I asked if they try to trick anyone yet and they do, their soccer coach. One wears red, the other blue. And James, I think, his hair is a bit longer.

Carter, I am fairly sure, haha.

And James. If I am incorrect, Mom will let me know.

I have no clue who’s feet are who’s.

And last but not least: Baby Nathan and his mommy

He is the sweetest thing. A total lover! When I asked if they were going to have more, she said they have talked about it. Why the heck not, what’s one, or two, more?? Question really is, what happens if there are twins again? OH MY!!
